Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the buzzword of the day. There are many types of AI, but one particular flavor is getting a lot of press these days: chatbots. Formally referred to as Large Language Models (LLMs), chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are everywhere - either directly or integrated with other popular apps. This technology is real and it's here to stay, so it's important that we understand what it is, how it works, and what the limitations are. Today I'll explore some aspects of LLMs that you probably weren't aware of.
